This means they are un- able to read a job application or fill it out, count their change at the supermarket, or read a voting bal lot.

Hatch Co. story, the non union Bend company has been fined $1,525 for seven safety violations involving its w ork-on the Banfield light rail project. Citations issued by the Accident Prevention Division o f the state W orker’s Compensation Depart ment were received by the company Sept. 2, and according to a depart ment spokesman, all o f the safety problems have been corrected. Tw o o f the more serious viola tions involved an accident early on the morning o f August 14 when the cable on a Hatch Co. crane parted and whipped into power lines. Seven workers were injured, two with serious electrical burns. Hatch was cited for not giving Pacific Power and Light Co. the re quired notice that work would be conducted near the lines, and for using a cable on the crane that was later found by state inspectors to be “ mashed, bent over and kinked" as a result o f improper spooling. General violations included not keeping crane inspection records on the equipment and not establishing contact with (he utility after the ac cident. Hatch was also cited for not ■ Expecting?

According to an Accident Prevention Division report, when asked by state inspec tors why he wasn't willing to con duct his own investigation, com pany owner R .A . Hatch replied "there’s nothing to investigate." State inspectors apparently had trouble locating the offending cable after the accident. " D o you know what happened to the bucket that was on the whip line and the section o f line that broke?," they asked Hatch. “ N o ,” Hatch replied, repeatedly denying that he had tried to hide the evidence. " I t probably got lost in the rubble and hauled to the dump . . . i t 's probably at the dump by now ," he said. Inspectors made a trip to the dump to retrieve the cable, and found it to be damaged. The Hatch Co. crane was being used to destroy a freeway overpass at N E 53rd Ave. The cable snapped when the wrecking ball attached to it snagged. It then whipped up and touched a 115,000 volt power line. In the words o f one o f the injured workers: “ there was a fireball came down the boom and surrounded me. It was the most vivid blue light I ’ve saw in my life. I could not move or Rugby-style jerseys, teg $17 to $18 Long sleeve polyester and cotton tops in stripes and solid colors Classic styling S. M.
